The sAnstraIian Mails.

The Colonial Governments have de-
cided that the San Francisco mail steam
ers shall leave their ports day earlier
than formerly, hoping that they may
then be always able to arrive here on
Saturday, and so connect with the fast
steamers from New York for England.
Even with this change, the mail steam
ers of the Oceanic Company are not due
at San Francisco till Sunday, and the
company must push its steamers to have
them arrive before. This, however, the
company is willing to do. The South
ern Pacific Railroad Company has
also shown a disposition to help
the service by promising to send the
mails on free of cost at O'Clock. if thew
arrive too late for the regular 8 %. m.
train, which would have to be detained
for an hour on the road. The United
States Government still leaves it to pri-
vate individuals and corporations to
render any assistance to the Australian
mail service, but has made a show of
liberality by taking away from the
Oceanic Company some $4,000 it re-
ceived for carrying the Honolulu mails,
and dividing that SUM between the Gov
ernments OF New Zealand and New
South Wales. The Colonials. who con-
tribute 100000 annually, must admire
the generosity of Uncle Sam. When the
Canadian Pacific line secures this SER
vice our business men viii perhaps
awake. and the r7iiro5d companies VIII
then wish they mad shortened the time
between San Francisco and New York

should like to look over the papers in the
case. They were handed to him, and

witness, and not being present the case
could not proceed.

WIDENING OF FORT STREET.
A Decision in the Appeal Case by MIR.
Justice Pr aStOm.

In the matter of the widening of Fort
street, Honolulu, Mr.. Justice Preston
yesterday gave his decision on the ap-
peal of Henry Bradley, one of the prop
erty owners.
This is one OF six appeals brought
against the awards of Commissioners for
assessing compensation to be paid to the
owners and occupiers Of property taken
by the Government for the purpose of
widening Fort street, Honolulu, and to
determine the amount of benefit accru-
ing to each estate by reason of such
widening. The facts being substantially
the same in all the cases, it was agreed
that the matters of law involved in this
case should first be determined, and
that the decision thereon should govern
all.
Bradley's claim was $1,000. \ special
Board of Commissioners were appointed
and reported to the Minister of the In
terror and awarded Bradley 81 ,47O. They
recommended that the expenses of al
teriug buildings should be paid by the
Government. The Commissioners also
adjudged to be paid by the several prop
critics therein mentioned for betterments
the sum of So per foot frontage for own
ers and g 80 per foot for tenants. Brad
ley's share amounted to 1922 IS.
The Commissioners did not forward
to the claimants copy of their award,
and the first the claimants knew of it
was by receipt of notice from the Min
lister dated April LIST, notifying the parties
of the amounts receivable or payable by
them.
The Minister filed his compensation
with the Registrar OF Conveyances, the
effect OF which, supposing the proceed
ings to have been valid, was to vest the
several properties proposed to be taken
by the Government without further con-
veyance.
1t was objected on behalf OF the APP
pellants that the award of the Commits
sioners was premature, in that no com
putation of the expense of widening the
street and laying it out had been made,
and that it did not appear that any such
computation had been furnished the
Commissioners. 1t was admitted that
no such computation had been made.
His Honor had no hesitation in hold
ing that these objections must be sus-
tanned. His judgment was that all the
proceedings after the finding of the jury
were null and void, and consequently !
the appeal is sustained. In conclusion,
His Honor said: eff had the power [ |
would order the certificate of computa-
ton now on record to be cancelled; but |
must leave the parties to take such
steps for that purpose as they may be
advised
w. A. Whiting and Cecil Brown for
appellants, His Excellency Antoine Rosa,
Attorney General, for the Government. |
